“It’s only going to help his status the further away he gets from the reality television cameras,” the source says. “Lamar really lost tons of respect from this past year so instead of a hill its a mountain to climb to get back into the NBA.”

Meanwhile, our source says that Lamar will most likely have to play for a minor league NBA team before ever hitting the court with a team like the Mavericks or Lakers.

“All the workouts in the world will not change what happens on the court,” the source says. “Lamar really has to humble himself and make things right with his personal demons and get his game back. He probably will not be able to pick his team, a team will reach out to him and he’ll have to take it or leave it.”
